1142: Chapter 291_6 1142: Chapter 291_6 Her son always reported good news but never the worries, she was genuinely concerned about how he was doing over there, if there were any dangers he might have encountered.
Even at one point when her son didn’t visit her, she would worry and fear, concerned that something might have happened to her child.
So, she kept herself busy with various tasks.
After a short while, a voice came from the speaker.
Tower Q!
Her parents were in better health than many young people because they practiced the cultivation technique she had taught them, even their reaction times were quicker than elementary school students.
Cao Zhen saw his mother finishing a game and, fearing she might start queuing for another, hurriedly called out, “Mom…”
When Wu Xuehua heard her son’s voice, she immediately stopped the thought of continuing to queue, complaining as usual, “You lad, didn’t you say you were going to visit more often?
How long has it been since you last visited?
At least over a month, right?
Other people at least make a phone call to check in, but with you, it’s like the phone only works one way; you can contact me, but I can’t contact you.
By the way, didn’t you mention earlier that you and your disciple were continuously grinding monsters somewhere?
How’s that going?
Have you come out of the instance yet?”
Wu Xuehua had learned many new terms since she started gaming.
Cao Zhen laughed and replied, “Mom, I’ve already come out of the instance, and now I’m heading to the big city.” He had told his mother that the Eastern Wasteland was linked to the Central Five Provinces.
“Going to the big city?
Your place, it drifted to the big city?” Wu Xuehua spoke, then immediately realized something and shook her head, “No, that’s not right.
You said last time you didn’t even see the Central Five Provinces.
Isn’t it still a long time before the Eastern Wasteland drifts there?”
“Our Eastern Wasteland didn’t connect to the Central Five Provinces.
My disciple and I entered the Eastern Province of the Central Five Provinces through that instance.”
“Oh?
So you snuck in?”
“Uh… if you put it that way, it’s not incorrect.”
Wu Xuehua asked, “Were you caught by anyone?”
“Well, it’s not exactly being caught, per se, but I met a woman, the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen… and then, I accidentally let something slip, and I just had to confess.”
“A beautiful woman!” Excitement surged through Wu Xuehua upon hearing this, and she stood up abruptly from her gaming chair and urged, “Quick, tell me what happened?
What’s this girl like?
Is she virtuous and what’s her family background?
Beauty is good, it means good genes; your future children will definitely be more beautiful.”
“I don’t know about her being virtuous, but her family background… How should I describe it?
Basically, the sect she belongs to can’t even be called a sect anymore, it’s a Great Teaching, and it’s one of the most powerful ones in the Eastern Province I visited.
Her family, her father, uncle, great uncle, grandfather, grandmother—they’re all high-ranking members of that Great Teaching, and the Sect Hierarch is even her Grand Preceptor.
It’s huge, to put it simply.
And the girl’s ability, compared to your son, is just a tad weaker, just a bit weaker than me.”
“Such good conditions?” Wu Xuehua grew even more interested and asked further, “How does the girl feel about you?”
“How does she feel about me?
Right now, she’s flying with your son, and she said she wants to marry me.”
“Marry you?” Wu Xuehua disbelievingly said, “With her excellent conditions, and she principally wants to marry you?
Do you think your mom is a fool?”
Cao Zhen immediately felt indignant: “Am I that bad?
In that world, I’m also one of the top experts, you know?
I can also sing and play music, and the girl likes someone musical; girls on Earth are all star-chasers, can’t a girl from the Immortal Cultivation realm be a star-chaser as well?
Moreover, my abilities are still higher than hers!”
“But your family background can’t compare to hers; you’re from a small place, and she’s from a big city.” Wu Xuehua simplified the comparison and then suddenly thought of something, adding, “Wait, you just sneaked in there; how long have you two known each other that this girl is already chasing to marry you?”
“We’ve known each other… for about half a month.”
“Only half a month?
Son, let me tell you, you must be careful with this.
The way I see it, it looks like you’re being set up.
Son, really, having a good-looking wife is not important, what’s crucial is if she’s virtuous…”
Before she could finish, the connection time to China Cloud was up, and Cao Zhen, speechless, thought to himself—finding someone pretty and with good genes was your idea, and saying whether looking good or not is important in finding a wife was also your view…
Moreover, I didn’t even say I wanted to marry her.
And what’s this about being set up!
Can I even be set up?
After completely disconnecting China Cloud, he looked around.
Just then, Bi Yue reached out and grabbed a disc from the void, handing it over to Cao Zhen, “I saw you offered your Divine Thought to me for a Divine Weapon.
Is this for your Immortal Sect?
This disc is a fine Divine Weapon, take it, give it to your Immortal Sect.”
Her sect, Dragon Chant Sect, was a Great Teaching, naturally well-stocked; finding something, she naturally offered it to Cao Zhen.
“A disc?” Cao Zhen instantly remembered his mother’s words and declined without a second thought, “I don’t want it.”
“Why?” Bi Yue looked back at Cao Zhen, full of surprise.
Cao Zhen casually said, “No reason, well… didn’t you say you want to meet my disciple at some point?
Just give me a random disciple of mine then.”
Giving the disc to his own disciple meant he wouldn’t be the one taking it on.
Yes, maybe give it to a female disciple like Ling Xi?
“Gift for meeting a disciple, just giving such a Divine Weapon doesn’t seem right,” Bi Yue spoke softly, “I’m quite wealthy.
I only picked it up because it was a fine Divine Weapon, I saw a damaged one on the way which could be repaired, but I felt the material and forging method were average, so I didn’t take it.”
Cao Zhen suddenly realized a problem—where did this Divine Weapon come from?
Suddenly, a bloody smell wafted towards him; he looked in the direction from which the smell was coming, spotting four bodies lying on the ground in the distance.
Beside them were several somewhat damaged Divine Weapons.
Clearly, Bi Yue had taken the disc from the side of the bodies through the void.
But, how had these people died?
If someone had attacked them, wouldn’t they take the Divine Weapons after killing them?
That disc he had seen was indeed a fine Divine Weapon.
Then, how did these people die?
